is your opinion? Please do not make comments about it being a gas guzzler or how expensive it is. I know both of those factors and I am still interested. So please give me unbiased opinions based on facts and are knowledgeable. Thank you!

It's useless as an SUV. Get a wagon, these "crossovers" just make your dick look shorter.

Well this vehicle is no crossover. This is an SUV no doubt about it. It is truck based, it's on the Nissan Titan platform. It is a bit of an overkill, but a nice overkill. If you really need an SUV this size, and you like the looks of the QX56, look at a fully loaded Nissan Armada LE, and you'll get the same vehicle without the Infiniti grill, and you'll save a bunch of cash in the mean time! But either way, I hope that gas mileage isn't important to you.......

I'm not a big fan of the styling, honestly. It looks like they just took two different vehicles, and sewed they together behind the back doors.

I do really like the FX45, though. Infinity has come a long way.

One other one that really caught my eye, and I'm ashamed to admit it...the Buick Enclave. They are brand new, so right now they are much more rare.

On the QX56, I don't care about the price, or the fuel useage. What I do car about is how much of a pain in the you-know-where it would be to parallel park (you'll need a football field), or maneuver in a crowded parking lot, parking spots are so narrow for a vehicle that big (may be very difficult to get in or out if you can't open your doors far enough.)

Edmunds.com editors only gave it a 7.4/10 which makes me wonder if it's really that much better than the Nissan Pathfinder Armada, which is the exact same vehicle, except for the face, butt and interior.
